About Me - Part 2 (the rest)

EIGHT things I want to do before I die:
01. Build a planned community from scratch
02. See my family back in Korea
03. Direct a movie or music video
04. Entertain and / or consult people for a living
05. Put Issaquah on the map
06. Build a community of green homes (sorta goes with #1 I guess)
07. Race around Pacific Raceways on my motorcycle
08. Climb Mount Rainier

SEVEN things that annoy me:
01. When you count on people, and they let you down.
02. When you count on technology, and it lets you down.
03. Waiting for other people to do something when you know you can do it faster.
04. The fact that I can't swim.
05. Unreliable cars.
06. Chronic channel flippers (radio or TV).
07. Poor service at a restaurant. It's worth paying more most of the time to go to a nice place.

SIX things I believe in:
01. Being a perfectionist.
02. Friends and family.
03. The L word
04. That everyone has the ability to do something great and that I may have an impact on helping that ability come out.
05. Going all out, 100%, no matter what you're doing.
06. Fate.

FIVE things I’m afraid of:
01. Losing everything I've worked hard for, whether that's friends or career success.
02. People with bad tempers.
03. Drunk people.
04. Lately, fear of "failure" is creeping into my head. Which is probably why I'm scared to jump into a new business venture.
05. Mice

FOUR of my favorite items in my room:
01. My pathetic room has nothing in it but clothes, a bed, nightstand, and a table full of crap.
02. Oh, and an LCD TV.
03. Well, my dog comes in sometimes, so I'll put him down; Brian.
04. The really expensive mirror I had to special order from Dania.

THREE things I do everyday:
01. Build furniture from scratch.
02. Write a chapter of a novel.
03. Develop a business model or a plan.
Yeah, I wish all this were true. But it's more like, "brush teeth, eat, and sleep."

TWO things I want to do right now:
01. Go through the terrain park at Stevens Pass. Or Whistler.
02. Hug someone. Or ride a motorcycle, it's a tie.

ONE person I want to see right now:
01. Jeff Reichersamer, because I know this will make him uncomfortable.

Day 88 - Flip Project - Cedar Grove

$ spent since last update - $10,749.50

Total $ spent - $26,570.56

Budget $20,000
Target Finish Date - 2/5/2006

Oh boy... So all the big expenses have been paid off and it ended up being close to $8K for all the materials used in the home and the labor to get those items installed. And the total ($26K+) includes 3 monthly mortgage payments (totally over $9K).

The home has been on the market 21 days now, and we seem to have a couple people interested in it. However, nothing in writing yet, so we'll continue to search for a buyer.

About Me - Part 1

I know I haven't written in a while, mainly due to busy-ness, but here's a cool little survey I found and thought I'd share with the public. Haha, maybe it'll help win over some new real estate clients... but most likely it'll make my friends think, "Jin's such a loser."

TEN random things about me:
01. I want to carry on my grandpa's legacy.
02. I feel like life has followed the perfect path, leading to where I am right now at this moment.
03. I watch way too much TV, but somehow manage to get other stuff done throughout the day.
04. I tend to be accident prone.
05. I constantly contradict myself... (Am I a saver, or a spender? Healthy or a junk food addict? and so on.)
06. I'm not a pushy person.
07. I'm totally fine with making fun of myself.
08. My friends and family think I'm way too nice / naive to everybody and fear I'll get screwed over by somebody. But I think that comes from me being young, and not being so jaded just yet.
09. I tend to follow less traditional sports, instead of the big 3 (football, basketball, baseball, although I'm a fairweather fan), I like sports like snowboarding, rock climbing, tennis, rollerblading and so on.
10. I love wearing black socks with every outfit (gets expensive though).

NINE ways to win my heart:
01. Go 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. Okay, not really, just thought of this as the "typical guy response".
02. Laugh laugh laugh.
03. Smile smile smile.
04. Get along with my vast array of friends.
05. Get along with my family.
06. "Must Love Dogs" is the name of a movie.
07. Ambition. A must have.
08. Amphibious. Wait, that's not the word I'm looking for. What's the word for someone who is adept at changing and goes with the flow?
09. Now that I think about it. "9 ways to win my heart" is a silly concept. There just has to be a connection; an unspoken, undescribable reason you want to be with someone. But all of the above sure help.

To Be Continued!... back to work for me.
